Flickering between slides

Hello,
I am using Captivate v.6.0.1.240
I've read the forum and many seem to have the issue with flickering slides.
Aside for adding a fade-in transition between slides in Captivate (does not work for me), is there another solution or released patch?
Thank you for your help.

Cap 6 - Flickering between slides

Hi all,
I have a project where an image is flickering between slides. Setting the Next button to "Go to Next Slide" fixes it, much like is done in the post below:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3177182
However, in some slides, I'd like to set the "Next" button to "Continue", and STILL not have flickering (using fade outs and nice-looking transitions). I know I could insert an extra mini-slide between the two slides, where the text boxes would fade out....but that seems like a longer work-around.
Any ideas?
I was hoping that this would be resolved with Cap 6.
FYI - other than the flickering, Cap 6 is awesome. It's literally saved me 10 hours of work via it's "Return to Quiz" function and drop-shadow capabilities.

Sorry team, but I just found some highlight boxes that are flickering because of the "blink twice" effect.
1. Highlight box fades in (good)
2. Highlight box blinks twice (good)
3. Slide pauses.(good)
4. User clicks next button to continue playing slide (good)
5. Highlight box fades out (good)
6. Right before moving to the next slide, the highlight box flickers. (BAD)
I know that changing the next button to "Go To Next Slide" would fix it. However, I can't do this because i want to fade everything out at the end of the slide.
I also know I could create a copy of the slide, so that slide A does "Go To Next Slide" and slide B (copy) doesn't have the highlight boxes. The fade out would occur on slide B (copy). ...but this solution seems a little cumbersome.
Let me know if you'd like a copy of my project.

Flickering between slides in Captivate 4

Hi,
I'm having some trouble figuring out why my project flickers in between slides in Captivate 4.
Some info on the project:
Each slide's transition on the properties menu is marked as "No transition". Most of the objects on the slide, especially those that appear at the very beginning, are set at "no transition"; others are set as "fade in only" and have at least .5 seconds to fade in.
At first, I had a floating image on each slide as a background image before I realized that I could set a background image. While I was playing around with this, I changed the background color to green just to test it out. It seems that the flicker between slides is whatever color that background color is set to. Black is the least noticeable, it seems...
Then, I set the background image for each slide, but it didn't seem to make a difference. Then, I merged objects, such as the title (same for each slide) and some other non-changing pieces (logo/branding) into the background, and this didn't make much of a difference either.
When I was playing around with the background images, etc., the flickering seemed to stop for a few slide-to-slide transitions, but these "successful" or seamless transitions don't seem to necessarily occur at the same places each time I pre/view them.
Also, I have Adobe Flash Player 9 software on my computer (probably from the Captivate 4 software or from the Adobe CS3 software). I'm aware that there's a new release (10.1), but I've only been able to download plugins for browsers (chrome and firefox, so far), but not the actual software .exe file. Not sure whether its really a FP issue, though, because I've tried opening the project's .swf file in both browsers and the FP 9 and the flickering still occurs in all.
I've seen some evidence of this flickering in other projects before. It may have been a few individual objects, such as a text box here or an image there, and I was somehow always able to fix it, though I never really knew what I did to fix it! The flicker usually just ended up going away! The previous problems were never as grand as they are now (being whole-slide flickers on EACH transition).
Can anyone help me???
It'd be MUCH APPRECIATED!!
Thanks,
Kate

Macnimation,
Flash video can be a bit glitchy in Captivate--especially if the video includes the audio.
In answer to your autodetect concern, is your FLV set to "Pause slide till end of video"?
Then, just thinking out loud, how about a workaround for the audio overlap? Create blank slide (whatever color you want) before the second video--set for 0.1 second or so and "Go to Next Slide". Then navigate to that slide before going to the second video. That might cut the sound off. This might not be the best solution, but it might be the most expedient one. --Leslie

Flickering between slides - CP 7.0.1

Hi there,
my demo project have some normal slides and quiz slides. When I publish project, between some slides I can see ,,flickering effect" - sure not nice. I remember, that similar problem was in CP 6.0.
You can see it:

What you think about it?
Please help.
thanks for any response

Hello Yarik,
Please open your project and go to Edit> Prefrences > SWF Size and quality and uncheck Advanced Project compression and Compress SWF file.
Select all the slides from Filmstrip and then change the quality to be HIgh 24 bit , save your project and then try to publish again
Thanks and Regards

CC break between slides

Thank you again for any replies...
I'm putting Closed Captioning in my project, and I'm
extremely happy to have the option in Captivate 2. But, when I go
from slide to slide in the published version of my movie (Captivate
SWF file), the Closed Captioning flickers between slides. I am
using the Audio Edit Timing feature which allows me take the audio
through out the whole project seemlessly. I love this. But it means
that sometimes the CC for one slide is exactly the same as the one
before. I don't mind putting the CC in both slides, but the flicker
you get between slides is very confusing for the reader, they think
that when it flickers that they are getting new text and they
automatically start reading from the beginning again.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get rid of or
minimize the flicker?

Your question gets asked on a daily basis, and has been answered many times. If you search for 'gapless playback' you'll see how just how many people inquire about this.
In short... the iPod does not support gapless playback.
If you want to eliminate the gaps, one workaround is to join the individual tracks together, and play them as one single track. You can do this by reimporting the CD into iTunes using the 'Join CD Tracks' feature.
See Step 3 in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93079http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93079http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93079
If you'd like to send feedback to Apple to ask that they include gapless playback as a feature in future revisions of the iPod firmware, you can do so on this feedback page.

Screen flickers between dim and bright when on battery

Hi - I've had my S10 for about a month now and overall am quite pleased with it.
One annoyance I've come across is that when I am on battery (IE no AC plugged in) the screen sometimes flickers between dim (what it should be) and bright for about a second and dims down again. It will do that ever 4-5 mins or so.
It seems as if the power management on the computer is a little on the fritz and can't decide if it's on be dim because it's on battery or if it should be bright because it's on AC
Anyone else experience this?

Im sure everyone experienced this with their S10's ... I would say it's normal because it changes power management to a lower grade... anyway I would say it's a sort of "hello... need attention" that your s10 is saying to you... It normally ocurs when your battery is low and you need to plug the cord cause it's running out of battery...
Lenovo S10 - 6cell - 2GB RAM, since March 1st 2009 and still loving it...!!!

My computer won't turn on. When the charger is plugged in it flickers between yellow and green

I was using my MacBook pro felt it charging and asleep for 4 hours. I came back and it won't turn on. When the battery is plugged in it flickers between yellow and green.

First thing to try would be resetting the System Management Controller. If that doesn't fix it you are probably looking at a hardware issue. Carry the computer in to an Apple store or service provider, or call Apple to set up service.
Best of luck.

Time Between Slides In A Program - Captivate 7

I need to know where to look to lessen the time between slides in the program I am developing.

Hi there
Slide duration is configured in the properties panel.
Can you be more specific about what you are trying to do?
Cheers... Rick

Help!!! Can captivate stop between slides??

Hi
I am creating a demo through capitvate. Is there anyway for
capitvate to stop between slides and it be up to the presenter to
continue to the next slide?
Please help! I am desperate!
Simona

Hi Simona and welcome to our community
If you are wanting this behavior to occur by virtue of
recording, click Options > Recording Options... and configure
one of the Assessment modes.
If you are talking about a project you have already recorded,
click Insert > Click Box... or Insert > Button... and insert
a Click Box or Button object on each slide. The default nature of
these objects is to pause the project until your user interacts.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

Gap between slides sounds

i import my CP2 project into Flash8 pro ,
But whene i try to test my movie or whene
i publish my project from flash8 ,I hear gap
between slides recorded sounds, exactly
whene the mouse click at my recorded movie ,
I think it is the time that a slide changes at CP2
Projects.
It's very important for me to edit my CP2 project with flash
best.

master2006, I'm suggesting that Captivate is a standalone
product and you don't see the problem until you export to Flash.
Therefore, the problem is not a Captivate problem, but one
connected to Flash. The Flash forums might be a better place to
find someone who can explain how (in Flash) to avoid the problem.
In a nutshell, you might find help either place, but the
Flash forums are hundreds of times more likely (IMHO) because you
are describing a Flash problem, not specifically a Captivate
problem.

White flashes between slides?

I created a presentation with audio that plays beautifully between slides. But when I publish, there are flashes of white between slides. I understand the slide has to load, but how can I make it load with a black slide instead of a white one? (Or a purple one if I want it to match the rest of my presentation)?

Are you playing it locally or over any server/LMS when the problem occurs?
Does it happen on all the slides or just the slides with some video on them?
Please check if the value of Preloader (Preferences-- Start and End) is set to be 100.
Thanks,

Annoying clicking sound between slides

We have this on all of our presentations - you can hear it in
this one, for instance:
http://breeze.quinnipiac.edu/p79364952/
I've even gone into audio edit to see if I could make it go
away. I did edit down the volume around the red line that marked
the boundaries between slides. Net result - the clicks got
louder.

Jeff,
Yes, the post-editing worked. I'd tried to do something like
that using volume control (no results), but found silence under
Insert. Silence is golden. Thanks!

RH 10 is suddenly flickering between pagination and displaying

I am trying to work on a topic, but RH 10 is "flickering"... the lower right hand corner status (at the very bottom of the PM pane) is flickering between "Pagination" and "Displaying". The font and font size is flickering, and the Paragraph and Character Styles pod list is flickering from "Normal" thru the list and then back to "Normal" in a split second. I cannot work in the topic...This seems to be happening no matter what topics I'm in... as well as if I create a new topic.
I did some PM organization of images and topics... and it was fine until then. I have made all the updates I can find, restarted my system, uninstalled and reinstalled RH and reapplied the updates.
What the heck is going on? HELP!

Hi there
I'd be shocked (and very skeptical) if someone were to pop in and say something like: It happened because you had... (insert reason here).
The thing is, there are a multitude of things that could be done to a project to cause this or that kind of a result. So all we can do is really guess at things.
So having said that, here's some food for thought.
When you work with RoboHelp, lots and lots of files are involved that track different aspects of the project. The main project database exists as a "ProjectName.XPJ" file. And another database exists as a "ProjectName.CPD" file. I do believe I've noticed that RoboHelp will sort of "flicker" as it attempts to ensure these two files are in sync. Sometimes we find that the .CPD becomes corrupt and will need to be deleted. When we delete it, as RoboHelp opens the project with the missing CPD, it sees the CPD is missing and sets about baking up a fresh one. And that process can cause the flickering as the database is rebuilt. How long it may take and you would see this would vary depending on the complexity of your project.
Not sure if it helps or not, but perhaps it explains why you are seeing what you are seeing.
Cheers... Rick

Flickering between password screen and apple logo?

my ipad 2 keeps flickering between the password entry screen and the apple logo on a black screen every second, bleeping as it switches between the two screens. This will go on indefinitely and no individual button is receptive, for example you can not alter the beeping volume.
I have left the ipad until the battery drained, but when placed on charge it starts going through the same process, flickering between the two screens. I have tried holding the home and power down buttons in as suggested on these forums but although it reboots as such it starts to beep and flicker between the two screens.
Has anyone any clues, the beeping is getting a little annoying.

Yes, it concerns me a little as well. Make sure you are running the latest version of iTunes and you could try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. That may be the issue causing iTunes to think that the iPad is an iPhone.
Before you try that, try different USB ports on your computer. Don't use a hub. Make sure you connect directly to the computer. You could try rebooting your computer as well.
Here are instructions to remove iTunes.

I know you feel this way too, but I don't want your situation to get any worse with trying too many things. I know you are "dead in the water" anyway with the iPad but still - you don't want to exacerbate the problem.
